Li Yuan walked into the lobby of Fumanlou accompanied by everyone, only to see that the room was brightly lit, and there were only a few tables of guests on the entire floor.

Liu Zimo, the Taishou of Xihe County, hurriedly responded one by one, and Li Yuan said with a smile when he saw this: "Lord Liu is really a diligent and loving parent official. ”

Liu Zimo said with a smile: "It's really ashamed that the adults praise the officials so much, and everything depends on the adults' good supervision. ”

After receiving Liu Zimo's sycophancy, Li Yuan was in a good mood, and Liu Zimo hurriedly led Li Yuan to the second floor.

Li Jiancheng and Hua Ling'er accompanied each other on the left and right, while Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin were one position behind the three of them, invisibly separating the remaining officials from Li Yuan.

Walking into a luxuriously furnished room, Liu Zimo hurriedly greeted Li Yuan to take a seat, Li Yuan did not twist when he saw this, he sat on the main seat with a golden knife, and the rest of the people sat down according to the arranged positions when they saw this, Li Shimin saw this and arranged Hua Ling'er and Li Jiancheng on both sides of Li Yuan, and he and Chu Mofeng sat in two convenient support positions.

At this time, the guys in the store walked in with all kinds of delicacies, and left in a hurry after quickly arranging them, only to see Liu Zimo standing up with his wine glass and saying: "Everyone, today Tang Gong can come to our Xihe, which really makes Xihe bloom, and this first glass of wine is proposed to pay tribute to Tang Gong together." After speaking, he raised his wine glass and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yuan, Li Yuan drank the wine in the cup with a smile, and then Hua Ling'er on the side hurriedly filled the wine glass.

Seeing that Li Yuan drank it all, everyone hurriedly drank the wine in their own glasses, and then a compliment came out of everyone's mouths, nothing more than 'Tang Gong mass', 'Tang Gong is arrogant', 'Tang Gong ......' and the like.

Chu Mofeng on the side took a sip of the wine glass, a spicy taste spread down his mouth to his stomach, and subconsciously muttered something to break the wine, Chu Mofeng quickly took a bite of food and put it in his mouth, so as to offset the taste in his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zimo led everyone to toast Li Yuan two glasses of wine, and the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly became lively, one after a while, this one came over to toast a glass, and that one came over to toast a glass, and after a few glasses, Li Yuan's face was also full of wine, and Hua Ling'er on the side hurriedly replaced the wine in his cup with tea when he saw this.

Seeing this, Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this time he had earned Chu Xiaozi, it was really his blessing for such a woman who could observe words and emotions to marry him, thinking of this, he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Hua Ling'er, and said with a smile: "Girl, since the old man married you to Chu Xiaozi, then we will be a family from now on, a little gift is a meeting gift from the old man to you, don't dislike it." ”

Hua Ling'er took the small cloth bag handed by Li Yuan, slowly opened it under his signaling gaze, and saw a crystal clear bracelet with a thick green body coming into view, Hua Ling'er picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully for a moment, and then put it back in the cloth bag, handed it to Li Yuan as it was, and said softly: "Uncle Li, the gift is too expensive, Ling'er can't ask for it." ”

Seeing Hua Ling'er's resignation, Li Yuan was about to say something when he heard Chu Mofeng's voice coming from his ears: "Take it, there are so many people present, don't embarrass Uncle Li." Hearing Chu Mofeng's words in her ear, Hua Ling'er nodded, got up and saluted Li Yuan and said, "Since Brother Chu let his subordinates, then Ling'er has thanked his uncle here." ”

Seeing that Chu Mofeng had relieved himself, Li Yuan joked with a smile: "Before this has passed the door, I started to sing and follow the wife, it seems that the old man really didn't choose the wrong Langjun for you." He burst out laughing.

Hua Ling'er blushed when she saw this, lowered her head shyly, and took the jade bracelet into her arms and stopped making a sound.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng patted her on the shoulder, turned around and walked towards his position, at this time the door of the room opened, and a guy walked in with a bowl of soup, the route of this person happened to overlap with the route that Chu Mofeng returned, and when the two of them were wrong, Chu Mofeng suddenly smelled a hint of danger.

Recall this fellow...... Seem...... Yes, he seems to be a little too tall and powerful!

With such a physique, it would not be strange if it was a soldier, but it was such a person, and it turned out to be a restaurant guy?

And inadvertently caught sight of his hand holding the tray...... As a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, Chu Mofeng knows what this means.

As soon as he thought of this, Chu Mofeng's heart suddenly seemed to be like a lightning bolt, and he suddenly woke up!

And at this moment, the guy put the soup in his hand on the table, and with a flick of his wrist, a snowy dagger came out, only to see this person stabbing at Li Yuan's chest at a tricky angle.

The two of them are very close at the moment, only separated by a table, and a sudden stab at such a close distance is extremely dangerous, and this person's body is extremely agile, and the seemingly ordinary stab is very strong, and the dagger that stabbed out faintly carries a burst of wind.

At this moment, Chu Mofeng was about to reach out to take the dart from the dart bag when it was too late, and Li Shimin, who was on the other side, had just unsheathed the sword at his waist, but Li Jiancheng, who was sitting in a precarious position, was stunned at the moment, and did not make any reaction.

Just between the lightning and flint, I only heard a 'poof' sound, like the sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh, and then there was a woman's muffled snort, only to see Hua Ling'er on the side leaning in front of Li Yuan, and the snow-bright dagger penetrated her right shoulder until it reached the handle.

Seeing that the blow missed, the assassin tried to pull out the dagger, but saw that Hua Ling'er didn't know where the courage came from, and held the assassin's hand with both hands, and the assassin didn't pull it out after a few strokes, and then let go of his hand and clenched his fists towards Hua Ling'er.

At this time, there was a mess in the room, Liu Zimo and the others saw that there was an assassin, and secretly screamed in their hearts, this is a good way to invite guests to dinner, and even let Li Yuan be assassinated, who knows if he will be angry after the matter is over, thinking of this, Liu Zimo shouted downstairs: "Come and catch the assassin." Protect Tang Gong. ”

At the moment when everyone was in chaos, Li Yuan, the main owner, had a calm expression, grabbed Hua Ling'er who was protecting him in front of him, and the whole person retreated backwards, which was worthy of avoiding the assassin's hard blow, and said coldly: "You can't escape, who is going to put me to death, say it quickly, maybe you can spare your dog's life!"

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng on the side grabbed a dart and threw it in the direction of the moment, and then felt out that the other side of the Yellow Spring on his waist rushed towards the assassin.

Hearing the sound of two sharp weapons entering the flesh in succession, the assassin suddenly stopped the castration of the forward rush, and slowly fell to the ground with blood overflowing from his mouth, Chu Mofeng saw this and shouted to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng: "Brother Jiancheng protects his uncle, and Li Lao Er goes to take a look at Ling'er's injury." ”

Then he turned his head and grabbed Liu Zimo's collar, and said coldly: "Tell me quickly, why did there be an assassin in Fumanlou?

At this moment, Liu Zimo was already stunned by the bloody scene in front of him, even though he was grabbed by Chu Mofeng, he couldn't stop trembling, but he couldn't say a word. Seeing this, Chu Mofeng thrust the dagger into his waist, stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Zimo several times in succession, and roared loudly: "Tell me quickly, where did the assassin come from?"

"Chu Shaoxia, the lower officials don't know, they knew that there would be assassins, the lower officials let the restaurant clear the venue in advance, and the lower officials were wronged, I hope that Chu Shaoxia will say a few good words in front of Tang Gong on behalf of the lower officials. After being twitched a few times by Chu Mofeng, Liu Zimo came back to his senses at this time and kept begging Chu Mofeng for mercy.

Seeing that he couldn't ask for any useful information, Chu Mofeng let go of Liu Zimo and looked back at Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, only to see the two of them say: "Father is fine, Ling'er seems to have fainted because of excessive blood loss." ”

Hearing that there was too much blood loss, Chu Mofeng walked quickly to Hua Ling'er's side, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, then picked up a glass of water and poured it into her mouth, got up and said to Li Yuan: "Let my uncle be frightened, everything is the fault of the little nephew, please punish my uncle." ”

"Silly boy, how can my uncle blame you, we'd better evacuate here quickly and find a doctor to treat Miss Ling'er." Seeing Chu Mofeng's anxious look, Li Yuan couldn't bear to blame him, who would have thought that going to a banquet would produce an assassin.

Li Yuan looked at Liu Zimo, who was muttering to himself, and snorted coldly and said: "Liu Taishou, hurry up and lead us out of here, and send someone to the city to find the best doctor to go to the county government to diagnose and treat Miss Ling'er. ”

Liu Zimo was angry when he heard that Li Yuan, and hurriedly ordered his officials to go downstairs to investigate the situation first, and then ordered Gongfa Er Cao to go to the city to find a doctor, and he led Li Yuan and the others out of the room and downstairs.

Chu Mofeng was holding the Burning Sky Protector on Li Yuan's side at the moment, and everyone slowly walked downstairs, and when they first came to the lobby on the first floor, they saw a thin guy running from the gate with his hands behind his back, and shouted: "Oh no, there are a lot of people outside." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, only to see that the hand behind this person's back suddenly stretched out in front of him, and a pair of bows and crossbows in his hands were already ready to be fired, only to see his fingers pull the trigger, and the crossbow arrows flew towards Li Yuan.

I thought that everyone was distracted by their abrupt shouting, and they could succeed in one blow, but who knew that the crossbow arrow shot out was gently flicked by the man holding an iron shovel on the side, and the crossbow arrow suddenly rose to the sky and shot on the beam, this person turned around and ran when he saw this, who would have thought that he felt a chill in his heart after just running a few steps, and looked down to see a street of sword tips coming out from behind him.

Li Shimin, who was on the side, saw that the assassin missed a blow and was about to flee, so he raised his sword and threw it at the back of the assassin's heart, and the long sword pierced through his chest with strength. Then Li Shimin stepped forward and drew his long sword, bringing out a cluster of blood arrows.

Li Yuan, who was heavily protected by everyone, couldn't help but be furious in his heart, thinking that Lao Tzu had offended someone, and came out to a banquet one after another assassins, no, he must find out about this matter in Xihe.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan shouted to Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng: "Boys, return to the county office quickly, Miss Ling'er is still injured and needs urgent treatment." ”

When the two of them heard this, they glanced at each other, only to see Chu Mofeng looking out of the door and said: "I feel that there should be more than two assassins, after a while, you pick up a table in front, I will cover you in the back, let's rush out and take a look first." ”

Li Shimin nodded, hooked a table in his hand with a hook of his feet, held a table leg with both hands, and rushed towards the door, while Chu Mofeng followed closely with a few darts.

As soon as he rushed out, he heard a 'bang', and a feather arrow flew out of nowhere, piercing the table and shooting, the arrow grazed Li Shimin's cheek and stopped, and suddenly a blood line flashed on his face. Then there was another 'bang', but the flying arrows did not penetrate the table.

Chu Mofeng thought that the first one was shot with a longbow, and the second one should be shot from a crossbow, so he turned to Li Shimin and shouted in his heart: "Keep going." At the same time, his eyes were firmly fixed on the outward table, and at this moment there was another 'doo' sound, and I saw a crossbow arrow trembling on the table.

After roughly estimating the location of the assassin in his heart, Chu Mofeng shook the dart in his hand in one direction, only to hear a muffled snort, and a figure fell from the roof opposite, rolling in front of everyone.

After stepping on this person with one foot, Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand to a few acupuncture points on his body, and said with interest: "Boy, now you can tell me about your origins." ”

As soon as this person saw that he was caught, he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but after being tapped a few times on his body by Chu Mofeng, he found that it was very difficult to even move his jaw, and then he realized that he had been pointed, and then looked at Chu Mofeng with an angry face, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

"Don't bother with it, if you want to bite your tongue and kill yourself, let's solve the acupoints first. Looking at the assassin in front of him looking at him coldly, Chu Mofeng smiled and said, "Do you want to say it here or will you say it in the county jail?"

While he was talking, people from the county government and the barracks came, and the two corpses in the house were carried out, and the man on the ground couldn't bear to close his eyes when he saw the tragic situation of his two companions. Liu Zimo stepped forward and took a closer look, then looked at the assassin on the ground by the lamplight, and then looked at Chu Mofeng with a look of wanting to say something.

Seeing that Xihe Taishou seemed to have something to say, Chu Mofeng straightened up and said to Li Yuan: "Uncle, you go back to the county government first, let people hurry up to treat Ling'er, and the little nephew will try this assassin here, and he will definitely give you an answer at that time." ”

Li Yuan was not a person who did not distinguish between priorities and urgency, so he nodded and led Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin towards the direction of the county government under the escort of a group of soldiers.

Seeing that Li Yuan was walking away, Chu Mofeng looked at Liu Zimo and said, "Lord Liu, let's talk about it, it seems that you know these assassins, right?"

Liu Zimo didn't answer, walked to the side of the assassin on the ground, rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, pointed to a scraped mark and said: "It's not a secret of Chu Shaoxia, these three assassins can't say that they know each other, they can only say that they know their origins." ”

"I want to hear it in detail, and I hope Lord Liu knows everything. Chu Mofeng nodded and motioned for Liu Zimo to continue.

"This position should have been tattooed with a German character before, and the assassin on the first floor spoke with a Xihe accent, so these three people should be the personal soldiers of the former Xihe County Cheng Gao Deru. Liu Zimo knew the weight of the person in front of him in Li Yuan's heart, and it should be his wife who was injured just now, in view of the premise that he didn't want to be angry with him, Liu Zimo hurriedly said what he knew.

It turned out that since Gao Deru was beheaded by Li Yuan, his own soldiers either died or defected or fled, only Li Long, Lizhu and Ba Laosan hid incognito in Xicheng County, and they searched around for news, hoping that one day they could assassinate Li Yuan to avenge Gao Deru.

Seeing Liu Zimo tell his identity, Li Long, who was lying on the ground, suddenly had a burst of anger in his eyes, and looked at Liu Zimo angrily, Chu Mofeng patted Liu Zimo on the shoulder and said: "Lord Liu is frightened tonight, go back and rest early, I guess that Lord Li will definitely pass everyone to the county government tomorrow, and I don't want the third person to know." These assassins were sent by Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, right?"

Hearing Chu Mofeng's words, Liu Zimo was suddenly startled, and he didn't know what he meant by saying this, so he had to nod and say: "Chu Shaoxia is so right, these assassins were sent by Liu Wuzhou of Mayi, and the officials retired. After saying that, he left Fumanlou without looking back.

Looking at Liu Zimo's distant figure, Chu Mofeng turned around and squatted down to look at Li Long and said: "You are willing to avenge your master, I respect you as a man, when you attacked Xihe, since Gao Deru was already dead, I don't want to implicate his family because of your absurd behavior." ”

Hearing Chu Mofeng mention Gao Deru's family, Li Long's eyes flowed a little tear, yes, why didn't he think that once it was learned that he and others were avenging Gao Daren, his family would inevitably be implicated, thinking of this, Li Long stared at Chu Mofeng intently, wanting to see what he would say.

Seeing tears welling up in Li Long's eyes, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "I won't tell Li Yuan that you are Gao Deru's personal soldiers, after all, I can't cause trouble to my wife and children, I am a Jianghu person, Jianghu people have a way of dealing with things, I can give you a good time, don't blame me on Huangquan Road." ”

After speaking, he touched the other side of Huangquan and slashed at Li Long's neck, only to see blood spurting out along the wound, Chu Mofeng slowly closed his eyes, sighed and said: "Vote for a good family in the next life, don't eat this bowl of rice as a soldier again." ”

At this time, there was a sudden wind around him, and Chu Mofeng put away his dagger and slowly walked in the direction of the county office.

There was already a doctor in the county government who came to diagnose and treat Hua Ling'er, and after the doctor finished his pulse, Li Shimin asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is she?"

The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "This girl is no longer in serious trouble at this time, it should be that someone fed her a similar medicine to stop bleeding after being injured, so the blood flow is not much, but she fainted, and she can walk on the ground after a few days of rest." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he admired the magic of Chu Mofeng's small pill in his heart, hurriedly paid the consultation fee and thanked the doctor, and sent the doctor out.

It happened that Chu Mofeng came in from outside the door, and saw that the wound on Hua Ling'er's body had been treated, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Li Shimin shook his head, and then motioned for Chu Mofeng to go out and talk, and the two came to the backyard of the county government, only to see Li Shimin said with a smile: "Thanks to your pill, otherwise we would have been delayed for so long, and Miss Ling'er's life would be worried." Oh yes, did you find out the identity of the assassin?"

"Well, I'm relieved that Ling'er is fine. Knowing that Hua Ling'er was fine, Chu Mofeng nodded and said: "Sure enough, as I guessed, the assassin was sent by Liu Wuzhou from Ma Yi's side, and he was originally going to assassinate Shi Danai, but who knew that the assassin's plan was temporarily changed, which made Uncle Li suffer an assassination." ”

"Hey, the world is unpredictable, thanks to Ling'er, otherwise my father would ....." Hearing that it was an assassin sent by Liu Wuzhou, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't say anything else, I'll go and guard Ling'er, and you should rest sooner. Thinking about Hua Ling'er who was still on the sickbed, Chu Mofeng interrupted Li Shimin's words, turned around and walked towards the room where Hua Ling'er was.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Yuan woke up from his sleep and heard Li Shimin report yesterday's situation, Li Yuan nodded and did not speak, turned around and walked towards the county hall, and when he came to the lobby, he found that a group of officials from Xihe County had already been waiting here.

Li Yuan slowly sat down and looked around at everyone, then said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous, yesterday because of the official's reasons, you were frightened, and the official here will compensate you." After speaking, he bowed his hand to everyone.

Everyone in the hall didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to turn around, but Li Yuan said with a smile: "Today, this official has the heart to try the unjust case of Xicheng County in the first instance, and he is addicted to the county master, I don't know what you think?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking to themselves where this Tang Gong was singing? They all focused their eyes on Liu Zimo, the Taishou of Xihe County, and were stared at by everyone behind him, Liu Zimo stubbornly said: "Since Tang Gong intends to defend the grievances of the people, then the lower officials and all your colleagues will definitely fully cooperate. ”

"Okay, then bring all the untried case files, and the official will browse them first. Li Yuan nodded, and hurriedly instructed Liu Zimo to send someone to get the file.

After a while, the Xicheng County Commander and Master came over with a large stack of files, respectfully put the files on the desk, Li Yuan saw this and said to everyone in the hall: "If there is nothing to do, take Wu'er Jiancheng to open a warehouse and release grain, and distribute the grain to the people, and then the official will send someone to transfer grain from the Jinyang official warehouse to fill it." ”

I saw Li Jiancheng coming from the back hall, coming to everyone and saying, "A few people, please, don't disturb my father to read the file." When everyone heard this, they had to follow Li Jiancheng to the outside of the county office, only to see a group of soldiers standing at the gate, all fully armed and looking at everyone coldly, Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, my lords, since it is to open a warehouse and release grain, there will inevitably be small people who take the opportunity to make trouble, and these soldiers are just to maintain order." ”

When everyone heard that they didn't come to get their own results, they all breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Zimo thought to himself, these grains belong to the imperial court anyway, and now they belong to Li Yuan, he said that if you put the grain, you should put the grain, otherwise once Li Yuan gets angry, the black gauze hat on his head may not belong to him.

Thinking of this, Liu Zimo summoned one of his subordinates and said: "Go and inform the people in the city, just say that Tang Gong wants to open a warehouse and release grain, so that everyone can come to collect it, and it must have been passed on." This subordinate received the order and left quickly, while Liu Zimo accompanied Li Jiancheng and walked towards the direction of Guancang under the leadership of everyone.

At this time, Li Yuan, who was in the county office, picked out two copies from a pile of files and put them aside, ordered the rest of the files to be taken away, and then unfolded one of them and browsed it carefully, then nodded and said, "Tomorrow, the court will try this file first." After speaking, he got up and walked towards Hua Ling'er's room in the backyard......

As the saying goes, if people don't know what to do unless they do it, and look at what the file Li Yuan personally selected is, and what strange things can be tried in the lobby, I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown......
